Abstract
It was found that equine lysozyme binds one Ca2+. It was eluted with equimolar Ca2+ from a Bio-Gel P-4 column. Human lysozyme did not behave similarly. Equine lysozyme is concluded to be a calcium metallo-protein like alpha-lactalbumin, which is a homologue of hen egg white lysozyme.Keywords
